Kate Movius faced challenges finding suitable adult programs for her profoundly autistic son, Aidan, after he aged out of school services, prompting the family to create their own weekly programming.
Service provider staffing shortages and low wages make it difficult to find fitting programs for developmentally disabled adults, exacerbating the struggle for families like the Moviuses.
Advocates pushed for higher reimbursement rates for services for the developmentally disabled, but Gov. Newsom's proposed delay threatens essential services accessibility.
The story of Aidan and the Moviuses highlights the ongoing difficulties faced by families with young adults who are developmentally disabled, showcasing the need for more support and services.
